should no longer permit a foreign ma
ton to hold q people down almost on
our very shores as slaves, not allowing
them to retain enough of their own
products for decent food, and believe

be taken oannex Cuba" Why GER

South is as bad as the North. But the
policy of might makes right will soon
be adopted at home as we'll as abroad,
and then all will 60 up together.

In HIS prayer at Tarrytown, N. Y,
last Sunday, Rev. G. b. McAnney, OF
the NJ. E. Church, there, who had just
recovered from thirteen weeks i'll
ness, asked God to bless the majority OF
his congregation, and that those who
"tried to starve him during his misfor-
tune might be rewarded according to
their deserts" There is good deal OF
ST. Paul and of human nature in this
preacher, and that, doubtless, is the
reason why most of his congregation
like him.

ESCAPED FROM A NUNNERY.-Miss

ESCAPED FROM A NUNNERY.-Miss
Carrie Pollard, of Memphis, the daugh-
ter of an artist, went to Lafayette, Ind,
on Monday for the purpose of entering
the Catholic st. Elizabeth Hospital and
becoming nun. Miss Pollard says she
is Protestant, and was influenced to
take the step by Catholic friends. She
was greeted by a sister who accom-
panied her to the institution, and fur
nished her with the necessary garb Of
a sister. A room in which was a bed
shaped like tomb was given to her,
and she was told to think of only things
divine. Miss Pollard claims to have
been so frightened that she determined
to escape, and this she did yesterday,
while walking with sister in the en-
closure of the hospital. She jumped
the fence, and sent word to Attorney
Wood, who went to the hospital and
secured the lady's clothing. The Sis
ter Superior denies the correctness of
the story and says that she attempted
to restrain her from scaling the fence so
as to prevent scene.

Robher ON a Trolley Car.

LYNN, Mass, March 21.-A Lynn
and Boston Railway electric car was
held up on the Revere marshes at 1890
this morning by man armed with o
revolver. The conductor, motorman
and seven passengers were driven from
the car. The robber demanded the con-
ductor's money but the conductor and
motorman jumped from the platform,
followed, by the robber. The latter,
finding it impossible to obtain the con-
ductor's money, gave up the chase and
disappeared. All hands then returned
to the CIR which proceeded on its way
to Lynn.

The New York Uorlds assumed fruit
has turned to ashes. The World certainly

Sret exceedingly the efforts it made in

MoRMoNs STILL IN HANovER.-Two
Mormon elders from Utah and some of
their local converts are still at work
among the population in the extreme
upper part of Hanover county, and ex-
element thereabouts runs high. At
Shiloh Methodist church, which is in
that locality, Rev. Mr.. Beckham, the
pastor, preached special sermon on
Sunday on the subject of Mormonism
to very large congregation, and made
a severe arraignment of the methods
and practices of the Latter Day Saints.
The elders and some of their followers
we're present, and we're highly indig-

ONE OF the Washington newspapers
still entertains the vain delusion
that Jackson City is part OF
the District of Columbia, and may be so
decided to be by the courts. There is
no telling now what courts may do, and
as they have decided that the United
States had the right-though expressly
denied by the Constitution-to take
enough Virginia territory to make q
whole State, they can, of course, decide
that they have right to take more in
order to enlarge the District of Colum-
bia. But as Jackson City is not de-
sirable, it is hardly possible that poor
old Virginia will be robbed ofany more
of her territory, for any such purpose as
that referred to.

The committee of New England
cotton manufacturers who have re-
Gently inspected some of the cotton
mills in the Southern States report
that the reason the latter cannot sue
cessfully compete with those in the
North, for several years, is the fact that
they have not either the requisite
improved machinery nor the skill
ed labor" But with free trade,
so that the price of improved
machinery would be reduced, the
required skilled labor would soon
equal the demand, and then all the New
England mills would move South, in
order to reap the superior manufactur-
ing facilities possessed by this section
of the country, and King Cotton would
come to his own again.

The A. P. A. in the North, like the
populist party in the South, has united e!
with the republicans. AT the repuoh-
can primaries in Bridgeport, last Tues
dav it's members succeeded in electing
eaough delegates to the city conven-
ton to secure the nomination OF their
men for all the municipal Offices, not a
single one being selected who is not an
opponent of the Catholic church. And
vet the Constitution of the country ex-
pressly forbids prescription for relig-
ious opinion There are by no means
too many religious people in this coun-
try, any how, and the wiser policy
would be TO try to conduce to the in
crease. rather than to the decrease OF
that number. But neither wisdom nor
the Constitution can stand against New
England fanaticism-in New England.

LIBEL SUIT DISMISSED.

Rev. e. L. Prather Loses All Desire to Dis
prove Charges Against Him.
ABILENE, Kan, May 28.-Conductor
James Fallins, of the Union Pacific,
won his case in the district court yes
terday. Rev. E. L. Prather had sued
him for S., 900 damages for stating that
Prather. exposed his person on Union
Pacific train. A proposition was in
directly made to dismiss the
case if the Union Pacific would dismiss
the one against Prather in Saline
county. This was refused, and at the
last moment Prather's attorneys dis
missed the case anyhow.
BY the withdrawal of the SANDER
suit the Baptist preacher has gotten
into more trouble. His bondsmen be-
came frightened and proceeded at once
to secure a release. John Wagstaff,
NJ. S. Dummett and J. E. Curry de-
livered Prather into the custody of the
county. The amount of the bond is.
about $3.50. but it is impro bable that
the preacher will secure another bond
and he will be quartered in the county
Jail to await trial in September in the
district court.

BAD FOR WHEAT.
Reports from Southern Illinois Very
DiscOuragIng.

MAscoTAH. Ill, May 2S.-The latest
reports from the growing wheat crop
in this, the greatest wheat growing
section of southern Illinois, are very
discouraging. The drought, cold
weather and insects have almost
ruined the growing crop, and many of
the finest farms will hardly produce
the seed that was sown for this years
crop. In Cass county the chinch bugs
are doing considerable damage to
wheat, of which, from present indica-
tions, there will not be more than half
a crop.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 2s.-The 1o7th
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States of America
adjourned yesterday at the close of the
afternoon session. The last day was
characterized by speed and dispatch.
The proceedings contained nothing
of a sensational character, being con-
fined to routine matters with one or
two exceptions.
1t had been expected by some that
action would be taken against DR..
Briggs by deposition, but such a mo-
ton was not proposed. 1t had been
whispered about that a deliverance
would be made against the Presby-
terrain league of New York and
against the signers of the peace and
work circular" But wiser counsels
prevailed. The final statement of the
moderator that the church would stand
by the present decisions was received
with applause.
Saratoga, N. Y, was selected as the
next place of meeting.

Driving out Cigarettes.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo, May 2s.-
Public opinion here is opposed to cigar
cite smoking, and Mayor Thompson
introduced and the council passed an
ordinance which requires anyone who
sells cigarettes to pay a license of $500.
The object is to put the license high
enough to be prohibitory. Dealers are
not opposing the measure, as they say
there is no profit in the sale of cigar
cites, anyway.
1t costs more to make the Royal Bak-
ing Powder because its ingredients are
purer, but it is more wholesome and goes
further than any other.
