No part OF our time is more fraught
with responsibility than our leisure
hours. Time is money Co him whose
main purpose is 10 make money; but TO
him whose first aspiration is 60 acquire
character, time is character. IL is In
leisure time that one feels the fullest
freedom of the will. Our busy times
are busy partly by sort OF compulsion
Of necessity or Of habit. We are hard

conscious OF free, full and in

Is this matter OF willing that
terminates and roots character.

DR.. Provost says that the bulletins from

Wilson's case; that he is SO much better
that he may he considered as no longer
in danger
Congressman Tarsney has wired Con-
sci General Crittenden to keep imforma-
ton as much as possible from the press
SO as not to make his friends in the states
unduly anxious. This has caused all
sorts of telegraphic messages to be sent
here FROM G uadalajara exagerating the
fact of Mr.. Wilson's real condition.
The following message has been re-
ceived by Consul General Crittenden:
Mr.. Wilson is doing well. His fever has
left him and his skin is cool and moist
He says he is great deal better, and he
only wants nursing, food and rest

The circuit court room presented
q picture yesterday that told tear.
ful record of the younger element OF
tie negro race. There were twenty
one convicts, of whom eighteen we're
n egroes, and of that number only
one born in slavery times. The
crime which stood against every one
vas either burglary or grand larce-
~. In passing sentence en- them
Judge Speake made mention Of
these facts, and called the special
attention of the large colored aud
i.;nce to these circumstances, and
urged on parents more care in the
training and education of their chill
dren, and that they endeavor to
make them peaceable and law-abid-
ing citizens. Huntsville correspon.
dence in Chattanooga Daily Times.
Here is living subject fraught
with vital interest aud concern to
good citizens people who have at
lie ,rt the public welfare and the
wcll-being Of their neighbors Our
teachers, preachers and pubic spir-
ed men generally, should join
bands with the parents in moral
revival among the class of young
leople who are filling the jails, penis
1entiaries and coal mines.
These observations are made with
cut entering into the guilt or inno-
cence Of these parties. 1t is enough
from this point OF consideration that
they have been adiudged guilty by
;, court Of justice and sentenced by
a Jldge for whom all the people, of
all classes. have exceptional regard.
The object should be to 60 to work
10 stem and counteract this danger
rs tendency among the youth, to
teach them better habits and morals
and so lift them above suspicion and
keep them in the paths Of right.
This done, the courts will have no

sustain the contempt charge, and the de-
fendants will be given the opportunity to
produce evidence in their defense.
The decision of the court was announced
by Judge Woods after he had conferred
Tor few minutes with his colleague,
Judge Grosscup. Judge Woods said in
substance: ut Is true that a procedure

that 1t was within the power Of his clients
