IT is extremely doubtful whether
the joint resolution offered by Rep
resentative Davey of La, for the ap.
preparation Of $4,000 for the relief of
cyclone sufferers on the southern
coast gets through Congress. Not
because individual Senators and Rep

the sufferers, but because all such ap.

for many years, on the theory that the

THE Bancroft Company are pro-

Fair, which is pronounced as the
finest and most important publication
connected with the great exposition.
In fact it has no rival there are art

there is no other publication which
unites all in complete and perfect
historical and descriptive work OF art.
Its text is by Hubert Howe Bancroft,
and its pictures by the best artists

Next in importanc to the Fair itself,

An Open Challenge--Weissert On
Pensions

20 Z OIlolOiAS
An exchange says that Post Com
mander in Chief Weissert, when asked
about pensions matters, replied
"My position-in fact that of the
whole Grand Army-is summed up in
the brief order that l issued after my
election in September last year. That
order was that all members Of the G.
A. R., having been obligated toencour.
age honor and purity in public affairs
are requested in case they know Of
any one receiving pension fraudulent
ly, to report the case promptly to the
commissioned at Washington. All
Grand Army men agree that they en-
courage in every instance striking
from the roll anybody drawing an il
legal pension"
Now Mr.. Weissert knows two things
First That the dependent bill was
passed for the purpose of increasing
the pension list and 50 getting more
votes to help reflect Mr.. Harrison
President.
Second-That neither Weissert nor
any one else could be elected Comman,
der in Chief OF the G. A. r. unless he
had the backing of the claim agents
ring and those under its control. Sc
it was in the case of his successor. A
CLAN agent Endorsed his nomination,
and the claim agents emissaries were
on the ground working might
and main for his election.
We have proposition to make-s
formal challenge in tactic Mr.. Weis
sert and to Mr.. Jack Adams whom we
have known for years-aye, long before
the Tanners, Lemons or House oil
Lords ringsters. We challenge them
to GILL on every post commander in
the order to furnish the name OF every
member in the different posts who is
on the pension list, and publish the
same with their disabilities and rate OF
pension under the Disabilities act. We
do not ask them to go back to the
time of any law passed previous to the
Dependent act, though there are plen-
ty of instances under those old acts OF
men who through friendship and polit.
ical "pull" are getting pensions far in
excess Of what they are entitled to un-
der the law.
There would be some startling reve.
lations if this challenge were accepted.
If Mr.. Weissert meant what he said, if
Mr.. Adams has the courage and homes
ty now to take up our challenge, cease
to be demogue and loudmouthed
partisan politician, and rise to the &C.
casion, he will do justice to the deserv-

. SOCIETY NOTES. y



Thecool October nights have driven
back to the city most all of the society
people who have oeen spending the
summer at the seashore and in the
mountains of East Tennessee. While
only a few still linger at the different
resorts, by the first Of November they
will have returned, and great many
elegant entertainments are expected
this winter. For some time past
johnson City society has been govern
ed almost entirely by the young mar
ried people, and all the young men
who have been 80 unfortunate as to
belong to the bachelor set will have to
be extremely nice to them or they will
doubtless be found in the same lone
some condition at the beginning Of
next season.
The following clubs which added so
much to the pleasure of the young
people last winter will no doubt be
organized at very early day: The
Longfellow Literary Circle is the old
est club in the city and its reorganiza-
tion is a fixed fact. Its members are
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe P. Summers, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Stratton, Mr.. and

members were: Mrs. w. ]. Exum,
Mrs. R. w. Farr, Mrs. Walter w. Faw,
Mrs. W. T. Ware, Mrs. Ward, Mrs.

also. It's members are Mr.. and Mrs.

She Didn't Call Them Quarrels.

"Auntie Collins" an old colored

Let Everybody Sing.

The charge is not unjustly brought
that "MethodistI are forgetting how to
sing" The fact is, Methodists in at
tempting to follow the church fashions
of the day have relegated this essential
part of worship to choirs; sometimes
more hirelings-operatic professionals,
whose performances are nothing other
than mechanical rendition of sweet
sounds, with no more of worship in
them than is in the sounds of the organ
or cornet, and it would be misnomer
to call this proxy singing any part OF
aUorship. 1t may be entertaining 10
the congregation, but it can hardly be
pleasing to God. Let. all the people
praise the Lord in song when they
come into His house to worship. We
enjoy hearing a we'll rendered solo, or
q piece by a well trained choir as much
as any one, but we do not feel that we
are engaging in an net of worship
while merely listening. But solo
singing is especially Objectionable in
times of revival. An Exchange has
the following sensible words on solo
singing at such time: "It is an out
rage on all worshiplul propriety, in a
revival service, for choir leader, who
ought to know better, to put up gay
and worldly woman, young or old, full
of 'ars and graces' to sing a solo
either thrilling with deep and devout
experience, or an invitation for sinners
to come to Christ, which she has not
herself done. nor has the slightest in
tention to do. Good singing is pow
er for good. but solo-singing under
such circumstances should be rendered
by good singer'-'good' in every
sense of the word-or omitted en-
tirely.
1--WE have seen whole meeting
stop, while everybody listened to an
artistically rendered solo, instead of
laundering on with rousing hymn
known and sung by all who could
sing. Yes, we have seen such intense
revival meetings thus stopped short
and like grand atber's clock never
move on again."-Episcopal Metho-
