Wicker sham of Mobile-under escort of MT. James F.

 Chicago, H., April 22-Hon. F. M. Rogers, Quincy, Ill.-Dear Sir: I beg to call your attention to enclosed clipping and to ask you what the report of that Grand Army of the Republic investigat- ing committee was, and where it can be obtained"
 He was also allowed to copy the fol- lowing portion of Colonel Rogers letter:
 Quincy H., April 26.-Mr. James F. Slater, Birmingham, Ala.-My Dear Sir: Great interest is now being manifested throughout the north and west in south ern immigration. 1 am in receipt of number of letters making inquiries about Alabama, several of which I send you. and the others have referred the parties to you.

 Selma and her county (Dallas) contain lands we'll adapted to the requirements of northern farmers, and 1t is to be hoped that the Southern railway will at least adopt as liberal a policy in the promotion or lmmlgrauon as the Queen and Cres- cent, Mobile and Ohio etc., to aid tbe people In their meritorious efforts in inc promotion of immigration,as also the de- Velopment of reSouces and increased traH1c resulting therefrom It is con ceded that months of intelligent hard labor will be required to draw to Ala pama her share of the immigrat tion sure to come south and fairly the people are entitled to the support and aid of the railways, and vice versa. at least SD saw expert authorities.

THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

The conference committee to make ar arrangements for the meeting of the gen eral conference will meet in Nashville about the middle of May. There will he quite a rivalry about the cities of the south to secure the general conference Atlanta will bid. and Texas will try to secure it. Birmingham should stand as 1alr a chance as any other city. The large church here, railroad center. de- lghtful climate, central location. strong church influence, etc, should secure the conference. The hotels should make lib- eral rates to the delegates. The confer ence met the last time in Memphis and the best hotels made a rate of $2 a day. with three or four in a room. There will be nearly 300 delegates, and the confer- ence lasts four weeks
 The Gelders Hotel company propose to make a rate at the Opera House hotel of $1 per day, meals and room what say the other hotels? Can't they aid by making as low a rate as the Gel ders company?

good Samaritan coming along, seeing him, was moved with compassion, and go- ing up to him bound up his wounds, pour ing in oil, wine, etc.
 Jesus acted the good Samaritan to- ward all mankind. When He came He found them dead, as through Adams fall we were& stripped of all supernatural gifts, without any means on our part to regain them. The work of Jesus Christ, the Good Samaritan, was his death on the cross; going about teaching and in- structing; performing miracles, such as restoring sight to one and hearing to another; in multiplying the loaves and fishes and in the house of Simon Peter, the Pharisee, forgiving Mary, the sinner.
 He is today represented as the Good Shepherd and one who aims at nothing else-who longs for nothing else and works for nothing else save the welfare of His sheep. He seeks them when they go astray through his church; He in- structs them through His ministry; He secures the best of food for them and did all that a true shepherd could do-sac- rificed His life for them.
 The reverend father referred to the ninety and nine and the one sheep that had gone astray-how he had gone forth and found it, placed it on His shoulders and brought it back to the fold rejoicing and calling on His friends and neigh bors to come and rejoice with Him that
 
 is followed close through His earthly career it will be seen that He forgot His own comfort under all circumstances to console the afflicted, to help the needy and give consolation to those who were void of any earthly comfort.
 The priest referred to the thief on the cross at the time when Christ was en- during more than any mortal dare en- dure; how when the thief asked if He would not remember him when He went to His kingdom. How the thief was at once assured that he was with Him in paradise, for where God is there is para dise-there is heaven.
 The work of the Good Shepherd is still going on. He who said centuries ago: "Behold I am with you always, even to the end" is still actively and affection ately engaged; still seeking for the wan dering souls-the lost sheep ,who for many causes are outside the fold of the one Shepherd.
 It Is the church who now says T am the good shepherd The church notes out the mind of God before He left His apostles. He gave them command to carry out until the end of time the work He began. It is the power of the church to restore the lost ones to Christ.
 Christs mercy knows mo limit It never did nor never will. If we have wandered outside the fold we will hear the voice calling us back. We will speed fly return to the one fold and bishop of our soul.

Rector F'itzsimons continued the dis cussion of 'The Judgment" the subject of his last Sundays discourse. He read as the basis of his remarks the parable of the wheat and the tares. He then gave a brief outline of his arguments of last Sunday, namely, that the judgment day is not a scenic occasion, but that judgment is constantly going on within. It is the result of our personal eXperi- ence and our relations to God. Taking up the parable of the wheat and the tares he argued that as the growth of wheat

The United States schools for Indians have the same reg ulations. Every medical school and journal lays down the same theory. He said that if these be true, and drunken ness be a disease, then have we been heathenish in our treatment of drink ing.
 The lecturer criticised in the severest terms the use of whisky, tobacco, snuff and cigarettes. Pool-playing and danc- ing also came in for some of his denun- citations. He said the round dance or waltz was nothing more nor less than hugging to music publicly.
 The lecture was given the strictest att tention throughout.

He said: If your prayers are ef- fective they must be uttered in sincerity and with faith. The sermon was an un- usually interesting one. No services were held at the church last night, Dr. Beard going to Avondale to fill an ap- pointment at Christ church.

First Methodist Church.

Last night Rev. Dr. Leftwich preached to the young men at the First Methodist church, and an immense throng of people gathered to hear what he had to say.
 His text was taken from a part of the 32d verse of the 18th chapter of II Sam uel: "Is the young man, Absalom, safer"
 He began by saying that more than one-sixth of the population of the United States was composed of young men between the ages of 20 and 30 years. He cited instances in the different walks of life where the young men were en- gagged in handling the commercial affairs of the nation. In the railroads he said 50 per cent of the employees were young men. In the young men he said rested the destiny of our nation. These young men, he said, would have to settle the affairs of state and solve the social prob- lens which just at this time are attract ing so much attention. He also stated that, perhaps, it was we'll for the destiny of a nation to rest in the hands of it's young men. He referred to the tremend- ous possibilities of manhood which the young men hold. and which he said was mightier than the questions of church and state.
 In reference to the morality of young men he stated that they were not wicked, but instead were a noble-hearted set of creatures, and that they had never been given true credit for their influences ln the different walks of life. He asserted that they were more sinned against thaii shining.
 He spoke of the good fortune of the American boy; that he, as a rule, is raised in good homes. Around no class of the human race of today gathers so much interest, said the speaker as around the young men of today, but the question which arises is, "Is the young man safer"
 The speaker recited the story of David and Absalom, and explained the cause of the conduct of the young man. In speak Ing or young men sowing wild oats he re- marked that most of the seed came from the house of the father. He said that when Jacobs spear went through Ab- saloms body that it also went through David's heart.
 He told how characteristics of the parents were brought out in the chill dren. In speaking of the influence of the home, his remarks were:
 "It is the home that makes the youne man." ''9
 His definition of the streets after dark was that they are school of vice, and he said that no parent had any right to send his child to such a school The next point he made was the social customs of church people. His remarks upon progressive euchre were rather pointed, and in substance were that such card playing for prizes was just as much gambling as playing for stakes at the gaming table. He paid his respects to Ine punch boWi, and said that it was nothing more than a road to a drunk ards grave.
 His sermon was @ strong one. and was Hstened to very attentiyely by the con gregation.

A pretty girl of 16 or 1T years came in on the car from the Highlands. Her mother was with her, and they arose to get off at the corner. The mother pre- ceded her daughter. A handsome young man was about to take the car. Eyi- dently the girl knew him and tender memories stirred her heart. She quickly took flower from her bosom and held it in her hand. As she extended her hand she left the flower in his hand. It was pretty act and sprung from a. pure heart It was in recognition of the courtesy he had shown her and per- haps a reminder of the pleasant past. He started in surprise. and a look of happiness frightened his eye. He stood on the rear platform expecting a back ward glance. but she walked on demurely behind her mother, with eyes on the ground. Perhaps she never told her mother of this act of sweet and gentle courtesy. A girl of that kind can keep secret, and the girl who can keep a secret has subterranean passages in her character, conveying the idea of depth and unknown treasures.

Upon good authority it is stated that MT. John R. Walsh, formerly principal owner of the Chicago Inter Ocean, is now negotiating with the present pro- prietors with a view to the repurchase of this important piece of journalistic property. Should the deal be consum- mated it is MT. Walsh's intention to rev. olutionize the politics of the paper, making it an exponent of sound Demo- cratic doctrine. In it the silver mono metallsts will meet a relentless and capable foe, who will fight the fight of honest money and give no quarter to those who lift up their silvery voices in praise of 16 to l. Another interesting item is that capital stock of $1, ,0O0, 900 has already been subscribed and a new Democratic daily will be immediately put upon its feet in Chicago. It is to be called the Daily Enquirer, and there are hints of silver monometallism in the editorial policy. But with Mr. Walsh in the field the sound money plank of Democracy will be well guarded, and MT Kohlsaat will find foeman worthy of his steel.
