The All the Year Round Bathing Club.

The All the Year Round Bathing clut
of London was up to a few years age
quite prominent institution in the eyes
Of sanitary scientists, though of late
years it seems to have relapsed into q
condition of innocuous desuetude. Its
members simply pledged themselves tc
battle in the Serpentine river every morn
ing in the year. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that none but the strongest con.
situations are able to comply with the
rules, but sturdy body of men of vary.
ing ages for several years carried out the
obligations to the letter, and when il
was necessary they would cheerfully
break the ice before entering the river.
Medical men frequently accompanied
the bathers, and quite number of pa,
pers appeared in the medical journals
setting forth the good and bad effects of
bathing every morning before a. m. in
running water.-St. Louis Globe Demo,

= BUREAU OF INFORMATION.
Everything Looking to Our Guests Interests
Being Satisfactorily Arranged.

A STATESMAN reporter was inform
ed yesterday by Mr.. John Peeler Of
the bureau of information and public
welfare that he was hard at work
finishing up his arrangements looking
to the interest of Austin's guests dur
ing the regatta. He has taken around
agreements and had them signed by
hotel keepers, barber shops and livery
men not to increase the price of lodg-
ing, shaving and livery during the
regatta. He has also taken steps
looking to the prompt squelching Of
any attempted extortlon at the
hands of the street hacks.
There will be bureau
of information established in the
Radam building, where all strangers
are welcome TO ask for any assistance
within the power of the committee.
There will be large black board
kept in this room, on which will be
placed the names of boarding houses,
their location, price, ETC., 80 that any
stranger can be given Intelligent in
struction where to go and what he
may expect when he gets there.
Chairman Peeler says he has
heard from number of board
ing houses up to date
but there are still number of houses
that have not as yet sent in their
names. These he desires to hear
from Immediately. Under the man.
agement of Mr.. Peeler the committee
will exhaust every means looking to
the interest of our guests, and you
may rest assured Austin will enter
tain royalty and at the lowest figures.

The Largest sunfish Ever Caught.

A fishing party of seven, under the
charge of Alex. Mathison, were recent
ly some five miles off the coast OF
Redondo in the sloop Helen after bar
racuda. One OF their number saw
floating in the water what at first was
taken for a young whale. On ap-
preaching the object 1t was discovered
to be large sufish lying on it's side,
evidently enjoying the sunlight. On
the nearer approach of the party the
monster dived beneath the boat, com.
ing to the surface few yards on the
other side. The boat was turned and
bore down on it once more. In its eff.
fort to escape the fish was struck by
the bow of the boat and thrown upon
its side.
The opportunity was seized to throw
a Jewish hook into its mouth. Gain
ing its equilibrium, the gigantic fish
sped away, the reel humming with the
$50 fathofns of line carried with it.
Then came a battle royal between the
great ocean rover and the fisherman.

Sanctifeation.

Ed. Register-A theological error is
casually referred to in the following:
The sanctifcationist sits in the easy
chair of theology. From the dross of
worldliness he has scared away to an
elysium of ecstatic bliss, and so long
as he may dwell in ETHEREAL nothing
ness, the oblivion of the senses to the
sterner realities of life, he may escape
the allurements of vice or temptations
to sin, and so imagine himself reposing
in some stronghold of Christianity, en-
tirely inyulnerable to Satans darts.
If he be leader of his sect, he has
made the important discovery that the
ecstatic in religion is one of its first
factors: that emotion furnishes a most
powerful leverage in the tidal wave Of
all religious reyivals. Water and the
Spirit are not dissimilar in wonderful
results, hence their association in
Christian theology is more than en-

fro be other. AS an agency, the
water is almost limitless; the
rrre~- produced by it in violent COM
motion often endows it with super
natural energy, engendering powerful
magnetic currents, until the very
bosom of destruction is carried along
in it's bosom. Its cleansing influences
are both gentle and terrific. So it is
with the Spirit. Incitei to action by
by the friction of loud appeals address
ed to the Imagination and emotional,
ransacking the realms of the ideal for
every fancy calculated to excite hope
or fear, the creations of the enthusiasts
brain (or the poet preacher) become so
realistic, that the devotee becomes
charged with like magnetism and, with
the union of spirit forces, rushes wild
ly on until the region Of the ecstatic or
.sperfection' is reached, for this mis-
homer is applied to the ''ecstatic'' with
singular zeal. If the poor human soul

(Which has thus surrounded its individ-
uality for the time being to the super
ior force of the more gigantic orator)
could repose forever upon the blissful
heights of spiritual delectation, far
above the sordid things of sense, never
more subject to the sad or selfish sur
roundings of a sentient existence, the So
cial sacrifice would be for his or her ev-
erlasting gain. In candor, he whose
philosophy safely landed him in his
paradise Regained, whose walls and
turrets bristle with the two-edged sword
of Scriptural quotations. wonders, from
the easy chair of his theology, how
many fail to see the light and cease
their weary struggling and battling
with sin, for he claims to be well sat
isfed with his victory, feeling now
wholly sanctifed; yet he may wonder
still more when he finds that he, too,
is only human, and all unwittingly has
wronged himself and humanity, in dar-
ing to break down the barriers of
rationalistic faith which permits the
ecstatic to prevail within the bonds of
reason and judgment, and restrains the
weaker ones from falling into occult
Mormonism.
There being but one step from the
sublime to the ridiculous, so also is
there but one step from the ecstatic to
the demolition of all dreams of holiness
or absolute perfection among the saints
on earth; and rational philosophy is
the safeguard, not interfering with
any of the Christian graces, to prevent
the fall, simply by moderating the tide:
so that religion, common sense and
Christianity may be synonymous. A
sect of perfectionist, holiness Christ
ians in the early ages of the Church
disregarding all safeguards establish
ed by the laws Of God and man, put
their faith and virtue to the test of set
ting aside the rules of common decency
submitting to the seductions of social
vice in the belief that being perfect
they could not sin-the disregard of
marital ties and promiscuous comming-
ling of the sexes, was tried only to be
abandoned after the most disastrous
results. So ended the first lesson. x.

1t is expected to be large and en-

teachers from this and other parts of
the State. Prof. Blanton of the State

and other distinguished educators are

in the proceeding.
The meeting will be held at Bis

Bismarck have engaged to entertain
the lady teachers at their homes, free

good hotel Accommodations at reduced
rates only paying $1.OO and $1.25 per
day.
Certainly this ought to induce every
teacher who can spare the time to at
tend and enjoy two day opportunity

quaintances. We also expect to get
reduced railroad aates; but of this you
will be informed later.
