A COMING ENTERTAIN MENT,

One of the attractions at O'Brien's dur jug the Christmas holidays will be the concert of the Vanderbilt University Qlee, Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar clubs. AL though this is but the second year of the existence of these clubs they enjoy wide reputation, having made several very suc- cesaful trips last year. Every audience before which they appeared was delighted under experienced directors, and compare favorably with like organizations of the great eastern and northern colleges. h. deed, it was the opinion of some musicians who had heard the Vanderbilt clubs and those of the s'big coileges'' last year tn at the former were far superior.
 These clubs are made up of young men from the most cultured families of the southern states.
 Vanderb bilt is a great institution and the south should be proud of her, and the or- ganizations of her students should be en . couraged.
 The finest game of baseball ever played by amateurs was played by the teams of Vanderbilt and the University of Alabama in Birmingham two years ago, and Van- derbilt's musical clubs are as superior in their line as are their athletic teams in theirs.
 southern trip has been arranged for the holidays. Rome, Atlanta, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Baton Rouge. Natchez, Jackson, Miss, and Memphis are the places where entertain ments will be given.
 The clubs visit Birmingham December 24 1894

WANT PAY FOR HAULING

TROOPS WHO HAD ZEN SENT OUT TO PRO-
 TECT THEIR PROPERTY.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-During the re- cent strikes many railroads applied to the government for protection, and troops were placed on trains and along disturbed por- tions of their routes. Now the com meanies who availed themselves of the troops for the protection of their property are filing bills with the .war department for the transportation of the soldiers, whose chief duty was to keep their lines open and guard their property.
 Nothing, it is asserted, was said about charging for carrying troops at the time they were asked for. and it was supposed that the roads would transports them free of charge, as their services were chiefly needed to support the interest of the roads.
 This, however, is not the case, and the railroad companies now want pay for car rying the men who protected their prop. erty. The war department opposes the payment of the charges and it is likely will contest the claims in the courts. The de- partmeat, it is said, will raise the point, as the railroads sought protection of the troops they have no right to regard them as ordinary passengers.

TENDENCY TO sECULARIzE.

The blcadiest period of the worlds his-
 t51y was that in which church and state were united. Our forefathers suffered from this nnholy alliance in the old world, and laid more stress on the separation of church and state than any other one principle. Yet in spite of tbis disastrous experiment. we seem to be drifting back to the same condition. Last week church congress was held in Boston, and the sentiments expressed were nothing less than revolu- tionary. One minister contended for a theocracy, and argued for union of the religious and the secular, especially in public schools. Another doctor of divinity thought it was the duty of the church to assume all the functions of government, such as protecting the health of the people by providing pure water, clean streets, etc. And in the same line he contended that the church should look after the bodies of men, establish gymnssiums, hospitals, schools, etc. He also said it should organize societies for the suppress sion of intemperance and incorporate church loan associations. This principle was put into practical effect by a North ern church not long since. It con- cluded that pawnshops charged an exor- bitant interest, and it actually established

WHAT THEY SAY.

FALLING INTO TIE DEMOCRATIC LINE.
 The manager of an establishment em- ploying thirty men said: "The leading editorial in the AGD- HERALD of Tuesday morning convinced me that must stand by the democracy and it's city ticket. Up to that time I was on the fence. have put on WaTuock button and intend to wear it until be is elected.''
 A real estate agent said 'fThe proceed ipgs of the negro meeting at Che wigwam, as reported in the AGE HERALD, has turned ms over to WarnocE. I had in- tended voting for VanHoose, but can't stand such sentiments as were expressed at that meeting.''
 Said banker: "Ths VanHoose men say they have nothing against Warnook, but don't iike the crowd he runs with. I cer- tainly prefer his crowd to the VanHoose crowd, with it's kinky heads and white re- publtcans.o
 Said a merchant: "The AGE- HERALD of Tuesday morning was vote- making paper. f can't see how a white man can desert the democratic party in such cpisfs''
 A hardware merchants said: "I hated to bolt the democratic party for the first time in my life, but had about decided to do itand vote for VanHoose In the hope that the city administration would be improved. But the AoE- HERALD has shown that even if VanHoose is elected he can't do anything aldermen. Therefore I shall vote for Warnock. My position is simply this: II could have accomplished anything by boItfng would hsve done 1t. but then to bolt and not accomplish anything is more than 1 cass to do.'

BLYTHE-CARTER.

At the residence of the brides parents, at JonesviIle, last night at g o'clock MT. Wil- liam R, Blythe was married to Miss Edna Earle Carter, Rev. J. H. Mccoy officiating. The wedding was in the nature of a sur prise, as invitations had been issued by Miss Carter to an "at home" The strains of the wedding march and the sight of the couple coming into the parior, however, revealed the fact that the gathering had another significance. Quite a company of friends of the contracting parties were present, and their congratulations were as hearty as their surprise was great. Re- fresh ments were ssrved and the evening passed most pleasantly.
 MT. Blythe is salesman with the firm of Hood, Yielding & Co.,, and is young man of worth. The bride is leader in Jones' vile society, and by her many personal charms has gathered about her circle of ardent friends and admirers.
 Mir. and Mrs. Blythe will reside in Jones' NiIIa

PLEASING TO REPUBLICANS.

The deep interest manifested by Messrs. Moseley, Parsons, Vaughan ct al. and the Tribune. the Republican organ, in the stCitizens' Reform' movement is not to be surprised at. This same combination supported Kolb, the Populite, and are ever ready to seize an opportunity to divide white Democracy. They are DO fools, but pretty sharp politicians, and are smiling blandly over the success with which they are meeting just at this season. They are canvassing by day and speaking by night to encourage their negro followers to join the opposition to organized Democracy. And why should they not? They want Jefferson county solidly and permanently fixed in the Republican column. By a breaking up of the party organization in this city they see clearly how this feat can be accomplished. "Let the party go to the devil, ,' is just the kind of talk they de- light to hear. They lead and fire up their negro speakers with that kind of stuff which was uttered at the wigwan on Mon- day night, and white people just have to grin and bear it. The battle is raging strong. It looks much like reconstruction days now, but they do tell us that it is reformation days.
 And Democracy turns to some of her erstwhiie faithful followers, and painfully utters: "Et tu, Brutet"

IS McCARVER INCOMPETENT?
QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE IN THE MEM

QUESTION OF IMPORTANCE IN THE MEM
 PHIs LYNCHING CASE.
 MEMPHIS, Nov. 20.-The question of the incompetency of Butch McCarver, chief witness for the prosecution in the lynching cases, was disoussed in the criminal court today Judge Cooper held that he had not concluded that McCarver was incompetent, though he had avowed his unbelief.
 McCarver was brought out of jail and re- examined, but he persisted in all of his statements of yesterday. pr. s. l.. Will ford said that McCarver had told him of his infdelity several years ago.
 Sheriff McCarver was placed CD the stand. An attempt was made by the defense to make him admit his son's depravity He broke down and wept. He said he had tried to raise his boy properly, but admitted that it was failure.
 If McCarver is declared to be inco mpe- tent the case will fall through, as the @ n- tire theory of the prosecution is based on his confession of the invitation he had from Smith and others to join the party of lynchers. Further arguments on the ad- instability of the witness' testimony were heard this afternoon.

ELECTED THEIR OFFICERS.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 20.-The Knights of Labor met today and received the report | of the finance committee, which was ap- proved. Payment of the expenses of the delegates was ordered, involving about S25O0. The assembly then proceeded to the election of officers. Grand Master Work man Sovereign was re- elected without op- position to his old position. Messrs. Bishop of Massachusetts and Merritt of Colorado were nominated for grand master foreman, and Bishop was elected Score Treasurer Hayes was elected over some opposition. The new executive board is not as yet ready for announce ment.

a rival pawnshop under t he auspices of the church. All this savers of socialism. And yeb there are churchmen who go still further. They would have the church be. come social society and political club. They advocate phila They would re-enact the old blue laws of Connecticut. Even free lance like Sam Jones deplores this tendency, and in a recent letter to the press he says: "Politics have gotten into the churches, and the churches Into poli- tics, until today we have partisan saints, partisan Democratic saints, and partisan Republican saints, and partisan saints mixed with red nosed buns and political rascals, until church and state, devil and all are so tangled up together you can hardly tell which is t'other, sud all seem to be on their journey home, with youV finger pointing down ward"
 But there was one good brother in this church congress st Boston who raised his voice against the sentiments expressed. !. He said he was a village priess, who had DO title to be heard except for his intense conviction. "I tell you that when this in- fatustion shall have passed we shall see that what this method has accomplished is not the sauctihcation of life, but the sec ularization of religion; not the consscra- tion of the world, but the dissertation of the church,
 But Sam Jones and this latter preacher should bear in mind that many good preachers differ with them and feel called upon to strike for the right from a high moral standpoint. Theyiiudge by outward appearances, know little of the true in- wardness of political demagogy and have right to give free expressions to theiT opin ions.

kola; fill them with water, shake thor oughly and add to each forty drops of muriatic or hydrochloric acid, in order to initiate the aeidity of the natural gastric a quantity of rare or raw. lean beef, chicken, the white of hard boiled eggs or similar foods; put into each bottle one ounce. Immerse ths bottles in warm water and carefully main : tain the contants at a temperatnFe or loO to 1O5 degrees Fahrenheit, frequently shaking in order to thoroughly expose the food to the action of the solution. ,f
 In the course of a very short time the contents of the bottle containing PaskoIa will be seen to undergo change, and fn two or three hours the food will have be- come entirely dissolved OF dfgested; whereas the contents of the other bottle contain ing the glucose and aosd will show no change beyond slight difference in ap- pearsnce.
 Ifyou have neither the facilities nor the inoifn ation to make the test for yourself, we have no doubt that your druggist will be glad to try the experiment.. The tubes herewith show the results of test made in photograph. No. contained glucose, and No. Paskola. What are we to conciuds7 2 One of two things: either that the so- called "chenists" are ignorant or dishonest.
 Glucose has DO digestive properties. This is well snown faSs, whsrss: Pas
  peptics, a truth astssted by the unsolicited testimonials that pour in upon us. The presence of digestive feTpents in Paskoia cannot be dstsymined By chemical test. No one has evsr seen digestive fsrments in a pure form, aud the oaiy way to determine thetr pxssenes Is by observing the effects w1ch they produce upon food. This is Q fact PecoNhi5ed by every autholity, and will be fonnd stated in Eoster's Physiology and other standard works.
 AnQther thing which those ignorant and jealous Ffvas have said about Paskola Is that, inesutnoh as it's basis IS pre- -digested stasch, it fh calculated to encourage dia- betes.
 We cannot better answer this charge than by quotfna paragraph from a report made to Mayor Gilroy ot New York by Dr. Cyrus Edson, com missioner of health for the city of New York, and for the state of New York.
 .'PYs- q igested starch is starch in the ex- act con ditfou that we find it prepared by tho digestive organs for assi milation. It is pre- sna fnently Reforming, heat produc- ing food. Under diet of pre-digested starch or glucose man can perform more muscular work than under any other sim gle article of food e.digested starch not only is not injurious. but it is an essen- form man cannot enjoy life. -
 in answe CT to an inquiry from the mayor as to whether or not pre-digested starch was healthful.
 Paskola contains special form of pre- digested starch, as we'll as digested fer mepts, and is not alone a fattening food, but it aids the digestion of other foods in the stomach, just as you may see in
