 THE CHRISTMAS ROSE.
 The black hellebore, called in England the Christmas rose, because, ss said an old herbalist, 'it bloweth about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ" is large wsxen- petaled flower, white, and often tinged with delicate pink. According to one tradition it bloomed at first only in the gardens of heaven, and was brought to earth by the angels, as 8 symbol of love and hope to the unhappy exiles from Eden. The Germans. too. have their Christmas rose, ''christwurzel." They call the black
 
 give it to sturdy little plant with a yellow blossom, the winter aco- nite. Both these plants are medicinal, and the black hellebore was long held in superstitious reverence, and used to purify houses and haliow dwellings,. At last, partly because it grew in dark and lonely places, it came to be looked upon almost with fear, and it was told of it that witches used it in weaving their unholy spells. So the little plant came to have two charac- ters, and while to some hearts it brought joyful hopes for the Christmas tide, to others it was only an emblem of sorcery and harmful incantstions. Its better rep utstion seems to have triumphed, how ever, and the little snow-hower, suggests to the English and the German child the story that in the same hour when the Won derful Child was born, little white rose blossomed in the snow. ''Ths winter rose, 'tis said, hsd birth when Christ
 was born.
 Can this be why 1t blooms without thorns" A pretty Christian legend, set in rhyme by an unknown author, gives the story of its origin, thus:
 When costly offering the Magi set By bed where Christ lay sleeping, A shepherd girl, who too the Christ child loves, Without stands softly weeping. She too desires to worship at His shrine, But hath no gift to protfer: So hard the winter, not one flower is there For her to pluck and offer. An angel passes. notes her sore distress, Stops, and the soil upthrowing, Beholdi before the girls wet, wondering eyes, Roses beneath are blowing! "Not gold. my child, myrrh '' the angel saith. As he the flower discloses, Are offering more meet for ChrIst-child's gift Than these pure winter roses"

At the Catholic Church.

Rev. Father Godfrey Schlachter, a
priest of the order of Jesuits,
preached to a large audience in the
Catholic church last night. In the
congregation were a number of Pro-
testants. From a Catholic stand
point the sermon was unquestionably
an able one. 1t was, in the main, a
defense OF the claim of that church
to infallibility-the one church of
God, which has existed in unbroken
succession from st. Peter to the pres
ent Pope. In support of his PROPOSE
tion the priest (prefaced by word Of
apology to the Protestants presently
quoted the famous soliloquy of Ma
cauley, uttered while standing on a
bridge over the river Thames, and
suggested by the ringing of the
Angelus bells at 6 in the evening.

Rev. Mr.. Rodriguez, of the Van
derbilt, preached at Trinity church
Sunday morning. Subject: "What
women can do for Christ" 1t was q
very fine sermon, indeed, so pro-
nounced by the large congregation
that heard it. The music was very
fine at this service, some of the
Easter anthems being sung. The
same minister made talk in the
afternoon to the Y. M. G. A. on
purity, which was WE'LL received.
He preached again at night to large
congregation at Trinity church. Mr..
Rodriguez has made a fine impression
on the people with whom he has
come in contact here. He is a native
of Mexico, a finished scholar and a
fine speaker, his Spanish accent being
very pleasing. He translates a
great many of the works handled by
the Southern Methodist Publishing
House into French and Spanish,
teaches the Spanish language at
Vanderbilt, and devotes his spare
time to preaching. He will fill the
Trinity church pulpit until a rector
is secured.

PISTOLSAT CHURCH.
A Sunday Murder at Quiet st.
Bethlehem.
Thornton johnson Walks up Behind
John Coleman and Sends a Bullet
Through His Neck.

st. Bethlehem had a killing yester.
day that created much indignation
among the negroes, and if the crowd
could have put its hands on the mur-
derer his neck would have stretched
hemp.
The negroes had big day at their
church, and there were from 500 to
1000 people present. They came
from all over the country. and among
the assembly there were some hard
customers.
Whisky is thought to have been
sold at the church, and the killing is
charged up to this fact more than
anything else.
John Coleman and Thornton John
son, TWO negroes, were there and
they were drinking. Coleman lived
will, Garth Brakeman and Johnson
with Alex Warfield. Johnson whip
ped boy, it is said, numerically.
Coleman took the boys part and
gave johnson drubbing. Johnson
remarked that he would not be treat
ed that way by any man, and
walked away making threats. He
found a friend from whom he bor-
rowed pistol. Going back to the
church he found Coleman. He
walked up behind him, put the pis-
tol close to the back of his neck and
pulled the trigger. The ball entered
Coleman's neck, passing straight
through it, producing instant death.
When the negroes saw what had been
done they made rush for johnson,
with the evident intention of lynch
ing him. He held them at bay, how.
ever, with his pistol and finally made
his escape. Officers got on his track,
but had not found him at last ac-
counts.
Coleman was forty eight years old
and leaves wife and eight children.

WHAT SHALL 1T BET

appointed by Clarksville Lodge 10

practicability of the Masonic Frater-
nifty building a temple upon the cor
ner of Third and Commerce streets,
where the carriage factory of Mr..
Gus. Harrison now stands. This
committee was instructed TO get eS
Inmates of cost for the store rooms
fronting on Third street, with plain
public hall for concert and other pur-
poses on second floor, with lodge
rooms on third floor. This commit
tee reported at the regular meeting
in April. AT this meeting strong
feeling was manifested to build a
ground floor opera-house, those men,
bers fayoring representing that there
was strong desire on the
part of the public generally to
have building of this char
acter in Clarksville. After these
representations the committee was
continued for another month, with in
structions to get pilns and estimates
for such building. The committee
had Mr.. w. G. Smith, architect of
Nashville, to come here, view the To-
cation and have conference, He has
submitted plans and estimates. Bnt

the public demand will cost more
than the Masons believe would be
prudent to invest ia such building
ESTIMATED cost about 30,000,00),
opera houses as a genera. thing being
considered bad investments. The
fraternity would have to issue
bonds for the purpose, the
interest to be paid semi annually.
This interest, added to taxes, insur-
ance and other necessary expenses,
would amount to about $500 per
annum. The only revenue to pay
this amount would be the rents re-
ceived from the opera house, and in
the opinion of the committee this
would fall considerably below, and
they have about decided to abandon
the opera-house and build store
houses.
This is one of the best. locations for
ground-foor opera-house in the
city, being centrally located, on a
street car line, with ground sloping

would slope with this street and on
it would be several exits, which
would enable the house to empty it.
selfin few minutes in case of fire,
thereby avoiding the danger of be-
ing trampled to death, as there
would be no stairs to go down.
Could the fraternity see their way
clear they would not hesitate to
build. We have heard of some citi-
zens who have volunteered 10 make
donations to the fraternity in order
to secure such a building in our
midst. Could these amounts be in
creased by our citizens, thereby re-
ducing the cost of building to the
fraternity, we believe it would in
sure the opera.house, Such contri-
buttons, however, would have to be
voluntary, as the Masons would not
engage in soliciting contributions.
This article is written for the con-
sideration of our readers, and to ad-
vance the project if possible.

RUN THEM OUT.
Clarksville Has Enough of the
Salvation Army.
Something About Service at the Court
House Last Evening Masonry De-
nounced on the Streets.

1t was announced at the various
churchts yesterday morning that
there would be services at the court
house last evening in which none
but ladies would participate. Sew
eral of the most religiously inclined
ladies went out at three o'clock and
they were badly disappointed in the
service.
The woman who has been preach
ing and singing on the streets for the
past three days was there, and her
discourse did not meet with that
response from the ladies present that
she had evidently anticipated.
The notice had also been read at
the cOlored churches and the court
house was crowded with negroes.
There were only about a dozen white
people present, and after they had
gone to the trouble to attend they
concluded to remain and hear what
the preacher had to say.
Her entire discourse was an en-
deavor to parade what she seemed to
term the shortcomings of the ladies
of the South. Chief among these
shortcomings" was the alleged ex-
isting habit OF the use of tobacco.
She also had the impudence to assert
that 1t was not the wish of the Lord
for women to become mothers. IL
was the lust OF men and of the flesh.
She also said that the negroes who
were hung at Nashville and Good
lettsville were not nearly so deserv-
ing Of death as were some white men.
After haranguing her audience
a ter this fashion for a half hour, she
called for contributions. No lady
responded; they all left in disgust.
This is given to show how these
salvation army shriekers are playing
on the credulity of the negroes.
They have been here now about
week and their chief work is among
the ignorant class of negrops. They
preach and sing, working their au-
diences up to frenzy, and while in
this condition they get all the money
they can and then leave. They
have been in Clarksville about long
enough and should 60. The ladies
of this city don't want any such
preaching as they heard at the court
house, and the negroes have better
use for their money than to drop it
into the Golfers Of these people. Fur
ther, the people Of the South don't
want religion dragged down into
such quagmires. They can go to the
churches and hear the gospel
preached by consecrated men. Hus-
bands and fathers don't want their
wives and daughters duped after any
such fashion as tn, v we're at the
courthouse last evening. These
men, as a rule, are such as have been
driven from the churches on account
of their fanaticism and ignorance,
and they should not be countenanced
by respectable people. They are no
doubt responsible for such meetings
as was announced for the rt.house.
Let them go.
One Of these shriekers had the as.
surance or brazen effrontery to stand
up on First street Saturday night
and denounce secret orders in gene
raj and Masonry in particular.
There was a strong feeling among
the white men who heard him to run
him out OF town. When good people
are thus insulted It is time to call a
halt.
