BAY VIEW, June Y, 1893
Many of our farmers have commenc d
their harvest.
Mrs Lou Gillespie OF Oxford spent Sun
day last with her parents Mr., and Mrs.
Simcoe.
A new school house will be erected in the
near future, on the same ground the old
one occupies. The foundation is being laid.
Our little village has made many i'm
provements during the few past weeks.
Our parsonage is nearly completed, and
when finished we imagine will be quite a
handsome structure as well AZ a pleasant
abode
A number of young people paid short
visit to the home of Mr.. Murray one even
ing this week. Judging from all accounts
a pleasant time was had. This we feel
assured of for Mr.. Murray is a skillful per,
former on both piano and organ.
A certain gentleman of this section who
frequently visits Gilpins Rocks was SER
iously entangled in a Net (net) some time
ago. This young man seems unfortunate
for this is not the first time he has met with
this accident.
The young ladies and gentlemen here
enjoy themselves on moonlight evenings in
boating. This seems to afford great plea
sure. But their pleasure was thought to
be al an end when one afternoon recently
one of the young ladies came near losing
her heart (Hart) by the boat named Clemp
capsizing which was always supposed to be
liteboat, but fortunately some good boys
who happened along threw out the life line
and thus it was saved.
A festival held not far from here week
ago was attended by some of the Bay View
boys belonging to the first grade who came
home early Gin the morn) nearly exhausted
When asked the cause of this, some replied
zone of our comrades came near being
lynched while another was threatened with
his life, the others seemed silent, but these
lines could be read in their countenance.
I'll never 20 back, No, I'll never go back
I've been there once and o such pack
Such cool reception l never had
Nor in all my lie was l treated SO bad
They were short and stout and q so Bould (bold)
This never believed but often been told
We rejoice in our hearts to think we're safe home
And away over yOnder Well never more roam.

The Moral Aspect of the open
ing of the Chicago Fair on
Sunday.

While some persons are lauding tne
last decision of Judge Fuller and his TWO
associates which indirectly allows the
directors to use their pleasure as 10
whether they will or will not open the
fair on Sunday, it may be as we'll to nave
a clear understanding of inst what has
been decided, and what is the true moral
position OF the Chicago directors.
Judge Fuller's decision is simply that
the United States had no such pecunlary
interest in the fair as authorized 1t 10 lie
a bill in equity to enforce the agreement
that the directors implicitly. made by &C
cepting the five million souvenir hall
dollars. That inasmuch as the opening
of the fair would not take any money out
of the treasury of the United States, nor
do the government any irreparable dam
age, which could be measured in dollars
aud cents; therefore according to the
technical rules of the court, the govern
ment had no standing in this suit.
He did not decide that it was right to
open the fair on Sunday.
He not not decide that the directors
were morally guiltless in profaning the
Christian Sabbath.
He did not decide that the command
ment, Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it Holy" is one which no body is
bound to respect.
He did net decide that the directors
were morally or legally honest in taking
the governments money, and then vlo-
lating their implied promise to close the
fair on Sunday.
He simply said that the case before
him did not involve these questions. and
that the officers of the government who
instituted this suit made technical mis-
take, and had therefore no standing in
court.
Now if any advocate of the abrogation
of the Christian Sabbath feels proud over
this decision, he had better look just
where he stands.
Certain facts have not been, and cannot
be touched by the decision.
/. The government agreed to have
coined and give to the directors five mil
lion souvenir half-dollars, upon condition
that the fair should be closed on Sunday.
2. With perfect knowledge of the
condition, the directors accepted the
proposition of the government.
8. The government fulfilled it's con-
tract, and delivered the coins.
4. The fair directors took the coins.
sold them for one dollar each, put fve-
million dollars in their pockets, and then
said we don't mean to keep our contract,
and if you attempt to sue us we have
technical defence.
Will any man who lays the slightest
claim to integrity, or even common
decency. place himself on the side of
this the monumental theft of the world g
history.

Sabbath, for Christian morals, for the
TtCORulIlOu Vi NOu laws ehop ohio hAoo
public violation of the Sabbath is coupled
with the preparation of crime SO flag
rant and so disgraceful, that any man
who aspires to hold character among
his fellow-men for integrity, must, when
be duly considers the case, hasten to put
himself outside the crowd who applaud
the opening of gates of the Wosld's Fair
on Sunday by these directors. w.

Relation of the Salvation Army
fO Temnerance.


The Salvation Army is fiat footed about
Temperance. 1t has proved itself the
greatest drunkard extirguisher of modern
times 1t is absolute and memorable in
demanding of its recruits that they totally
abstain from the use of alcoholic liquors and
bitterly discourage the use and manufac
ture of them. 1t is the most absolute of all
religious organizations in its sense of the
utter repugnance of the use of Liquor to
religious profession.
While the Salvation Army has nothing
against the saloon keeper as man, it
wants to show him his pho tograph as a
drunkard maker. 1t holds up the drunk
ard resolutely before his eyes, and says
"Behold Your Work"
In ruined home, abandoned wives,
Behold your work.
In blasted hopes. dshonOred lives,
Behold your work!
In prostitutions scarlet shame,
In libertines with lust atame,
In many a wrecked and bighted name,
Behold your work!
1t is as a drunkardmaker. a home blaster,
| a crime inspirer, that the Salvation Army
would like to show the rum pusher his
| likeness.
"We!l; every man must make living"
you say Yes, every man must, that's all
right But one man will choose cursed
destructive, illegitimate way of making a
living; while another will choose an honest,
helpful, benevolent way. The former man
il. be damned in hell, Sir. for his choice
of way of fetching living.
| Well; Gcd has given US the stuff. -
another will say, and we must use it. But.
God never gave US the stuff, Sir. God gave
us the grain to make bread and meat out of
it. but the Devil incites men to pervert its
holy use, and manufacture an insidious
aluring poison out of it. And in this
shameful misuse of the benevolent gift of
God those men will be damned.

Facts About Glycerine.

Glycerine is one of the most useful and
misunderstood of everyday assistants.
1t must not be applied to the skin un-
diluted, or it will cause it to become red
and hard, but if rubbed well into the
skin while wet it has a sottening and
whitening effect.
1t will prevent and cure chapped hands,
two or three drops will often stop the
baby's stomach ache.
1t will allay the thirst of fever patients
and soothe an irritable cough by moist
ening the dryness of the throat.
Equal parts of bay rum and glycerine
applied to the face after shaving makes d
man rise up and call the woman who pro.
vided it blessed.
Applied to shoes glycerine is great
preservatiye of the leather and effectu-
ally keeps out the water and prevents we,

had been granted for electric inventions.
So few applications for patents were
made 10 this field that the claims were
turned over to division for the exami-
nation Of instruments for use la natural
sciences. But soon the number of sp-
plications increased SO rapidly that it be-
come necessary to establish a special di-
vi.ion for electricity. In 1894 the patent
office granted l, 200 patents protecting
inventions in the field of electricity
alone. In that year three per cent. of all
the patent claims busted themselves with
electricity. Since then two electrical
divisions have ss.sen in the patent office,
and these have been divided into ten or
twelve subdivisions occupied with nearly
200 classes of inventions and expert
ments. From 1876 TO 1898 81, 900 pat
enfs have been issued for inventions in
this domain OF applied science-900 for
arc lights, 800 for incandescent lamps,
22O for application Of new power in the
working Of metals, 1850 for electric
railroads and the rest for hundreds Of
varied purposes. Ten per cent. of all
the applications in the patent office are
confined 10 the uses OF electricity.
The Commissioner of Patents has just
rendered an interesting decision in the
matter of the appeal to him of the State
Of South Carolina from the refusal OF
the examiner to register trade mark in
the name of the State. 1t appears that
the State desired to use a certain label,
with the intention to enter markets out
side of the State and Union as vendor
Of liquors and had already sold in
Canada Il case os its liquors bearing such
trade mark, claiming that it possessed
the full rights of trading corporation.
The Commissioner, closing his decision,
says: 1t is considered that the State Of
South Carolina, Notwithstanding the
acts Of its Governor and the State Board
of Control, has no authorized trade in
liquors outside of its own limits, 10 not
the owner of any trade mark, has not at
this time the right to the use of the
trade mark sought to be registered, and
therefore the application is denied.

Love for the ZigZag.

The straight line is an abomination to
the Chinese. They endeavor to avoid
it in their streets and buildings and
have banished it completely where coun-
try field paths are concerned. They will
always substitute curve whenever
possible, or they will torture it into n
zigzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject to the influence of the
foreigner the houses and temples are
characterized by curved, often peaked,
roofs, ornameuted with fantastic modit-
cations of the myriad stroke pattern" "
The inhabitants of such regions are soon
found to have mental world to corre-
spond. The straight Inc is secuted.
They think in curves and zigzags. To
the Chinese mind the straight line Is
suggestive of death and demons. 1t be-
longs not to the heaven above nor 10 the
earth beneath. In true horizon line are
seen the "undulations OF the dragon. y
Therefore. argues the Chinese, the
straight line pertains to hades. -. Con

Eccentricities in Palaces.

The King Of Siam, who, according to
late reports, has had palace construct
ed which he can submerge in the sea at
will and so live under water whenever
he chooses, is not the only monarch
who has INDUCED in eccentricities of
this sort.
For instance, history has preserved the
memory of the ice palace built by the
Russian Empress Anne. who punished
several of her dainty oourters by com
pe,ling them to pass the night in this
great chamber Of state, where they were
almost frozen to death.
The Car Paul, ancestor of the present
Emperor of Russia, constructed room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where he
spent hours walking to and fro in full
uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia
One OF the native princes of Java
cooled his palace by making stream
fall in a cascade over the gateway; and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed
beside his dinner table life-size figure
of a tiger devouring an English officer,
the roar of the beast and the shrieks
of the victim being initiated by hid
den machinery. - Harper's Young Peo-
ple
