An Orator Gives a Clear Analysis Be-

At the last session of the Lime Kiln
Club, Brother Gardner introduced as
the speaker Of the evening Hon. Higgin-
bottom Lawless, of Mississippi, who
addressed the club on Sentiment. Hon.
Lawless, after mounting the platform
like a steer climbing side hill, bowed
right and left In response to the ap-
plause, and quietly began: "

1t is the opinion of experts in cotton
manufacture that the $4,000 bales Of
Egyptian cotton imported into this
country last year Is benefit to Ameri-
can cotton interests. The Egyptian
fiber is decidedly inferior to our sea
island cotton, but is longer and more
silky than upland cotton, and mixes
with 1t to advantage in the manufac-
ture Of thread, fine yarn, underwear
and hosiery. The production of sea
island cotton could be largely increased
without danger Of an oversupply. 1t is
In demand in the European manufac-
ture Of cotton warp silk, and often
passes for silk. There Is no question
about our sea island cotton being the
finest in the world, and the trouble Is
that not enough of 1t is grown.

Electricity Taking Its Place In Now

which but few years ago was but the

gigantic stride In the science of rapid
transit Will cause not the least surprise.
As far as actual operation IL concern

Hartford Railroad has the lead. al
though the line upon which the new
electric locomotives have just been put
In operation Is only seven miles long
and of an experimental nature. On
the other hand the Baltimore and Ohio,
which will be but a few days behind its
predecessor in point Of operation, will
give Its three 96-ton electric locomo-
tives such practical work to do that the
test will be a perfect one. The three
giant motors which the Baltimore and
Ohio will use to propel both freight and
passenger trains through Its new tunnel
under the city of Baltimore are the
largest In the world. The tests which
have been made with the one locomo-
tive which is already completed have
shown that its power is in excess of
that of a steam engine Of the same
weight. These locomotives are the tri-
umph Of the age, for they demonstrate
beyond a doubt that electric traction
for railroads now run by steam Is prac-
ticable.
The trolley system is employed for
conveying the current to the motors,
but the arrangement Of the trolley
shoe Is different than has ever been
made before, The locomotive itself Is

The large number of deaths from
lightning strokes during the recent
thunder storms illustrates the perver-
sity of fate. Some Of the victims We're
killed in the street others under trees
and bushes, still others in the open
fields. One woman was killed while
standing in an open doorway, and a
husband and wife were stricken down
at the breakfast table. Some Of the
deaths were due to dangerous exposure,
but others could only be attributed to
that kind of chance which is called a
fatality. The moral probably is that
the one person in a million born to be
struck by lightning will not die Of dis
ease or by drowning.

The steamers Maruba and Maryland
and the big steel schooner Malta, up
bound without cargo, were caught in a
furious hurricane Friday afternoon at
the lower end of Stag Island in st. Clair
River, and driven ashore like rowboats.
The three boats were high out of the
water, and presented large surface for
the wind to catch, and, having, little hold
on the water, the storm drove them about

storm unroofed houses, blew down barns,
telegraph poles and trees, and wrought
great destruction to the farms along the
river.

The Sacred Duties Of Home.
More must be done to remedy the 40
nestle evils of life. The pulpit ought
to be more devoted to the instruction on
home life. The ministry may be aware
of sores among their people, and for
fear Of giving offense they may fail
to instruct young and old as to the sa-
cred duties of the home. But this mis-
take is fatal one. The result will be
that their fiocks will be eaten up by
the worms Of intestine domestic corrup-
ton. Religion, or at least piety, will
vanish, even IL religious forms be still
retained. Church authorities should be
more wide awake to the greatness of
the evils Of this widespread plague.
