When these people chase paper bag

they go to o'clock tea and jabber and

in grand auditorium, where the suprem-

not only turn deaf ear to what is done,
but make very babel with their internal
chatter, what are we to think? When
they ignore the claims Of Christianity or
the wide horizoned maxims of Judaism,
refusing to give dollar for charity, but
cheerfully spending hundreds for their

AT BOWLING GREEN.
Harper, The Rape Fiend May be Ear ged
Day.

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Dec. 81 =
There are no further developments
in the Anderson affair. Miss Ander-
son is able to go into court and the
excitement will likely reach such a
pitch that 1t will be impossible to
prevent lynching. Harper has
given satisfactory account OF him
self during the morning of the out
rage except between the hours of 8
and IL, and the outrage occurred
ABOUT 10 o'clock. He claims to have
been al home, but cannot prove it,
while it is stated that competent
witnesses will state that he was in
the vicinity at the time. Nothing is
talked OF but the crime and all look
forward anxiously for developments.

A Party of Masqusrs.

A party Of masquers made night
hideous in some parts of the city last
night, so to speak. Several well
known and popular young gentlemen
concluded they would have some
fun, and after Disgusting themselves
went out TO call on their friends. All
one place they happened to go into a
store Just as the proprietor was
counting up his money for the days
sales, and they were taken for rob-
bers until one of them who cannot
conceal his deep baritone voice asked
to leave his overcost. This, coupled
with the size of one of the party's
feet, gave them all away. They had
much fun and are heing congratulate.

CHRISTMAS EVE.

The exercises commenced on
Christmas eve, when a magnificent
Christmas tree was raised in the
church crowded with the best fruit of
the season, namely. with tokens of
affection from the Older members to
the little children who were there to
celebrate the childhood of their
friend and Master Jesus, Son sof
Mary.
The exercises commenced with a
short and simple address from the
rector, in which he commended to
the children the example of love and
obedience set them in the childhood
OF Christ.
A few hymns and then the distri
button of the fruits from the Christ
mas tree. Dolls, toy houses, books,
in short, an infinite variety of OBJ
jects delightful to the child Christian
were then given out to 125 of the
lambs of the church-75 of the Sun
day-school at Trinity and SO from
that at the South GAINESVILLE church.
Another hymn and a blessing from
the minister and the children were
dismissed to the happy dreams of joy
and innocenco.

CHRISTMAS MORNING.

CHRISTMAS MORNING..
AT eleven the church was again
opened, this time to large congre.
CATION, of which many belonged to
other denominations. They were
welcomed by triumphant peal on
the organ, made by Prof. Emery,
and then all joined in the beautiful
congregational liturgy of the church,
liturgy truly congregational be-
cause in it the people and the priest
unite with heart and voice in respon.
sive worship; while at intervals the
splendid choir and organ, under the
conduct of Prof. Emery, diversified
the service with chants, canticles,
hymns and anthems fit to prepare
the devout Christian for the music of
heavens prisons.
1t may be here remarked that the
reputation of the Trinity choir and
organist has extended far beyond
GAINESVILLE, aud we are informed that
application has been made for them
to attend at Nashville the consecra-
ton of the new Bishop Gray.
After communion the congregation
broke up TO meet in smaller bodies at
many hospitab'e board, where, in
many places, friends and relatives
long separate d, found themselves re-
united if only for short time.
Again they ieassembled at even
ing service, and, when they finally
parted for the night, all admitted
that never had they passed so happy
a Christmas.
This notice would be incomplete If
failed to speak OF two matters.
One of these Was the beautiful deco
rations of the church, converting the
sanctuary into bower of evergreens.
The other was the remarkable SER
mon of the Rev. Rector. This in
deed was the eliminating glory of
the Christmas exercises. The preach
er made "The Incarnation of Christ"
the topic of his discourse, This he
treated as subject not confined to
the birth of the Savior in Bethlehem
and his wonderful ministry On earth,
not even complete when he had risen
and assembled up on high, but as a
thing still going on so long as men
are gathered together into the COM
munion of Christ's body, which is
the church, not complete till all shall
be one in Christ and Christ shall be
all and in all.
This was great sermon-One con-
ceived in the spirit of the ancient
fathers and of the great English di-
vines of the seventeenth century,
the gospel as it is known in the epis.
ties of Paul and John, and while it
abounded in the proloundest thought
ii was delivered with the beaming
of inspired youth.

Sunday Ohservance.

In his efforts to prevent the sale OF intoxi-
eating liquors on Sunday Mayor McDonough
has had the support Of almost the entire
I community. Since he has been mayor there
has been very little drunkenness on Sundays,
and consequently very little disturbance OF
the peace. The police records show that
since he began the work Of closing the
saloons on Sundays the number Of arrests
on those days has been remarkably small.
But the mayor is now pursuing a course
which threatens TO undo all OF his good
work. By attacking occupations and kinds
Of business against which there is no public
sentiment, and which custom has sane
toned for a quarter Of a century, and
which the city ordinances permit he is
creating a sentiment that will eventually
make it virtually impossible to enforce the
city ordinances against selling intoxicating
liquors on Sundays.
He is attacking the kinds OF business and
occupations to which attention is called,
not because they are prohibited by the
laws of the city but by the laws of the
state. and he is using the police to enforce
the state laws. Indeed, the closing OF these
kinds OF business and the preventing Of these
occupations are not necessary to quiet Sun
days. There are certain kinds Of business
that are essential 10 the comfort and happi-
ness OF a very large portion of the clty's
population. Why, then, should they be pro-
hibited on Sundays il there is no sentiment
demanding that they be prohibited.
There is a sentiment that the sale of in
toxicating liquors shall be prohibited for
two reasons. One is, that when the dram
shops are open there are many more
drunken men on Sundays than other days,
and many more crimes committed under
the influence Of strong drink. The other is,
that workingmen, being idle on Sundays,
waste their money in drink, If the oppor-
tunity to do SO exists. which ought to be
spent in support OF their families.
What the people want is that the dram
shops shall be closed on Sundays and they
will support the mayor to the fullest extent
in doing that. But if he insists that the
state law shall be enforced to the fullest
extent-a law that was enacted when the
condition Of affairs was very different from
what 1t is now-he will simply succeed
In reopening the dram shops. He may enforce
the law during the rest Of his ad-
ministration, but he will have a successor
who will not enforce any Sunday observ-
ance law. The MORNING News has held
up the mayors hands in his reform work
and it wants to see the Sunday reform SO
firmly established that it cannot be over
thrown. He Is pursuing a course now,
however, that is likely to lead to its over
throw,

Bogus Money.

Dealers in "queer" money and ''green
goods" are doing about as much business, it
appears from the newspaper dispatches, as
dealers in any legitimate line of trade
Green goods" and ''saw-dust game" have
come to be used as synonymous terms, mean
ing that the verdant rascal who attempts
to buy counterfeit money gets for his time,
trouble and cash only box of saw-dust, cut
paper or some other valueless stuff that
would weigh about as much as the spurious
greenbacks he thinks he is buying. But it
appears that there is really green goods'
that is counterfeit paper money
In circulation and being put
in circulation, and, furthermore,
that some of it has got into Georgia, by
hook or crook. In our dispatch from Thorn
awhile. published Saturday, it was told how
young man tried to buy pair of trousers
In that town, rendering in payment there
for bogus 800 bill. When arrested and
questioned about the money the young man,
who is said to be mot very bright" said
another man named Lyons had furnished
it, and that Lyons bad large roll like it,
Lyons, of course, escaped arrest. That
was his purpose in giving the bill to the
mot very bright" young man. He had
possibly just come into possession
Of the crisp, new counterfeits,
aud wished to see how they
would be received. At the same time be
did not propose to risk his own liberty by
Showing the queer" untilit had been demon
strated that it was safe to do so, and with
the meanness characteristic Of rascals of his
stamp, he selected the dull young man as his
cat's-paw to make the test. The experiment
failed, Lyons skipped and his tool was put
in jail.
A telegram from Cincinnati, published in
the MORNING NEWS Monday, gave the facts
Of the arrest of persons engaged in making
counterfeit greenbacks and the capture of
their outfit 1t is not improbable that
these Thomasyille bills came from the
Cincinnati press, and that there are
more OF them afoat. The imita-
ton is said to be poor, but
so few persons receiving a bank bill or sill
yer certificate examine it critically, that
there is danger OF being imposed upon by
these frauds, and it is we'll to watch out for
them.
The publication of these facts may lead
some people to believe in the green goods"
circulars which are being sent broadcast
over the land, and to try to obtain some of
the bogus money. If it should, the result
would be that the fool and his money would
soon part, and the parting might be only
the forerunner of a term in the psnitentlary,
which would be deserved
