HIS NOVEL THEORY OF TIDES.
Uncle Alvah Dunnlng Thinks the ol.
 World "sIoshes" Around.

Uncle Aivah DunnIng Thinks the Old
 World "Sloshes' Around.
 Uncle Alvah Cunning, the hermit of the Adirondacks, maintains tAat the earth is not round like ball, hut as flat as a pancake, or, at best, that it re- sembles milk pun, with enough of all edge to it to keep the water from run ming away.
 A number of guests at Charlie Ben- nett's eAntlers, . on Raquette lake, were discussing tho theory with Uncle AlVah ono day during the hunting sea son. One of them undertook the alto gether hopeless task of convincing the old man of the error of his belief. Among other things he called attention to the tides.
 Uncle Alyah. he said, you 've heard of tides, haven't you? How do you account for them if the world isn t round?'
 The old man remained silent for awhile and then drawlod forth, "Waal, hev somo idee as to lem. D
 What is it, theliy' asked the ques- tioncr, while all the Fportsmen drew near to await the answer Uncle Alvah was not to be hurried, and after anoth- CT pause he remarked:
 4'Did ye ever turn over i'll bed? thinks moro than likely '
 Yes, I've turned over i'll bed '
 Do ye sleep tween sheets?'
 Always, replied the quostioner laughingly. Whats that got to do with it?"
 It's got all to do with it, in my opinion. When you went over, didn t tho bedclothes kind O slip round an slosh round an didn't get there same time as you didP'
 "Yes.
 Waal, that's my idee of tho tides. The old earth sort O slips round under tho water like man under the bed clothes, or it tooters bit, like when you tip a milkpan. The water don t get there quito us fast as the land, an that s what makes tho tides New York Herald.

SOUSA'S DISCIPLINE.
General scho fields Funny Break as to
 the Conduct of an Orchestra.

General scho fields Funny Break as to
 the Conduct of an Orchestra.
 How Conductor Sousa was taken to task by General SehoEcld for his lack of discipline is told by the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Tho last echo of one of Sousa s oyer- lures was just dying away over the sand hills south of tho fair grounds when General Schofield stepped in front of the band and saluted the distinguished leader. Sousa returned the salute and sent one of his mon to escort tho general up into tho band stand.
 That music was beautiful-beauti ful, ]" exclaimed the general as he shook Sousa's hand warmly. .'I am astonish- cd, sir, that you get such results with so little discipline. '
 There is nothing that Sousa brides himself more on than being ono of tho strictcst of disciplinarians, and he was naturally nettlod at the general's s criti- cism.
 Why, general, my men arc under perfect control. I'm sure they arc thor oughly drilled, and can hardly believe that there is any lack of discipline haqo never noticed it. '
 No, that's just it; you don't sec it, '" persisted the general "I saw it. though Do you know that as soon as you turn your back on one side of your band to shake your baton at the other those fol- lows all quit playing? Of course you don't see it, for as soon as you turn around they begin again T
 The fun in this, at tho expense of the general, lies, of course, ill the fact that when section of Sousa's men became silent as he turned to tho other was when tho music 50 required But tho general looked upon this lapse as he would upon tle suspension of q section of his artillery when he turned his at tentlon to another part Of tho field.

l THE CONVICTION OF DEBS
 The conviction and Imprisonment of Eugene. V. Debs for contempt of court will have a wholesome effect throughout the country. It will be remembered that Debs is the Pres ident of the Amarican Railway Union and was the author of the great strike last summer The court granted an injunction against Debs and his associates restraining them from interference with the railroad trains entering Chicago, which order of the court Debs and his associates entirely ignored, aid it is for this disobedience that he has been found guilty of contempt and sentenced to Imprisonment. Judge Woods decision will have a salutary effect, and serve to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Had Debs been successful in his strike or turned loose without pun ishment, the railroad and commercial interests of the country would be liable to tie up at any time and all trade and traffic could be sus- pended at will, subject to the whim or caprice of any labor leader or agitator Debs nor the organiza- tion he represented had any griey- ance against the roiIroads. Their grievance rested entirely against George NJ. Pullman, and as against him was just and warranted, and should, therefore, have been confined solely to the employees at Mir. Pull mans palace car works. But Debs was ambitious and venturesome, and springing from obscurity to the Presidency of . great organization, he sought to make himself famous at the expense of the members of his organization and the business and commercial interests of the en- tire country. For several weeks no king, ruler or autocrat possessed greater power than he. He was the first 0and only Car that has ever been known in the United States. Passengers and trains moved or re- mained at his bidding So great was this despot's sway and author i6y that the President of the United States was forced to exercise the ex- traordinary authority vested in him to declare martial law From the moment the President declared martial law in Chicago the force of the strike begun to wane, and had it not been for this extraordinary intervention of the President there would have been scarcely any limit to the losses and suffering caused by the strike. 1t is needless to re- mark that there will never be an other Debs. His quick passing and punishment will be an example and warning for the future. Whenever labor, in the future, possesses griey- ances and seeks redress, it will be through the courts or in some law full and peaceful manner. History will show that Debs has not lived in vain

"A Triumphant Death.

Brother John G. Moss was born
one mile north from Duncan's
Landing, Hardin County, Tennes-
see, A. ID. 1S4S, Oct. 9th; aud af-
ter short spell of illness, died at
the Sulphur Springs, near Nixon,
Tenn, Oct. Is, 1894.
He was faithful member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
had been for II years.
Brother Moss was a good citi-
zen and a christian gentleman.
He was a loving husband, an af.
fectionate father and a tender
brother. Brother Moss was not
only loved by his own household,
but, was surrounded by large
circle of friends; many of whom
were present and witnessed his
triumphant departure. He babe
them a short goodbye; persuading
them to meet him in Heaven, and
many said they would. His great
est desire and strongest request
was for the young folks to stop
going to plays and quite a mum.
Der of them vowed to him that
they would do so. He seemed to
regard parties as being the great
est evil to lead young people
astray. Brother Moss said to them
that he was going to die and go tc
Heaven. He said that he was
ready to go; and that he did moi
have the shadow Of a doubt, anC
that his troubles wonld soon be
over forever. He said to his fam
lily not to grieve after him for j,
would do no good, but to prepare
to meet him in Heaven, and w
? will not have to part any more, al
our troubles will be over and W,
will praise God forever.
May God sanctify this dispen
sation of his providence to TIN
good of many precious souls.
God bless his bereaved compan
ion and seven children.
Blessed are the pure in hear
for they shall see God.
