ChIltlren's Day in the Prcsbytcr-
ian Church.

On Sunday cvning last "Chil,irens
Day" exercises were held in the Snow
Hill Presbyterian Church. The pulpit
was prettily decorated with plants, cut
flowers and evergreens and presented "a
cheerful aspect.
The subject chosen was sabbath Bells" ="
and most Of the music was of n ringing
character, one of the prettiest features
of the program being twelve little boys
and girls. each of whom bore in their
hands bell made of ivy and having
letter IN silver on it, As each one mount
ell the rostrum they recited appropriate
lines about bells and then handed their
bell to assistant Superintendent William
X. Spurrier who hung il on bar made of
evergreens suspended across the platform.
When all had recited and the bells were
in place il was seen that they formed the
words
SABBATH BELLS,
making very pretty and appropriate
decoration. Although the children had
practiced very little they all did well and
their singing was very good. Rev ID. B.
Fitzgerald and Superintendent j. Samuel
Price made addresses. and William :.
Parsons. Secretary OF the school, read his
report Of the days collection. which
amounted TO 5000. Following is the

WHY a DEMOCRAT WAS CHOSEN,
The Reasons That Prompted President
Harrison to select Judge jackson.

The Reasons That Prompted President
Harrison to select Judge jackson.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-From the many
inquiries as to the reasons which led
President Harrison to appoint a demo.
crat to succeed the late Justice Lamar
or the supreme bench. the statement
comes very direct that he was led to do
this because of republican opposition to
his making any nomination. The re-
sponsibility for failure to nominate a re-.
publican is said to lie at the door of
twelve republicans who were determined
to oppose any confirmation proposed by
the president. 1t was first his intention to
nominate either Judge Emory Speer or
Judge Pardee. On making inquiries
among republican senators as to which
would be the most apt to secure a ready
nomination. he discovered that there
was about twelve republican senators
who would oppose any confirmation,
partly on account of their personal an
tagonism to the president and partly or
account of their desire to bring other
matters to the front in the senate. Al
first on discovering tins, Harrison decid.
ed he would not send in any nomination
lie held to the purpose until the after
noon Of yesterday, when he became con.
vinced that "a democrat might be con.
tirmcd with the aid of democratic scna
tors. lie then decided to send in the
nomination to be confirmed.
The republican senators who were op
posed to his making an appointment vii
probably try to prevent tho Contirma
ton. and there appears to be a strOns
probability that they may succeed an
