A Mistake Some Mothers Make.

1t is u common excuse with over
indulgent mothers for omitting to COR
rect even glaring improprieties of feel
ing or of conduct that the child is 'too
young to listen to reason" and that 1t
will be time enough to check such alb
CREATIONS aftcrward. This is a great
mistake, In infancy we are governed
not by reason, but by the well-directed
affection and kindness of our guardi-
ans; and to wait till the development
of child's understanding before we
commence its moral training is to wait
till years of unregulated indulgence
shall have strengthened its more self
ish and powerful appetites and pas
sions-to wait, in short, till the weed
has ripened and shed its seed, before
attempting to extirpate 1t from the
soil.-Dr. Combe,

DANGEROUS TOYS.
Children's Playthings as Means of
Spreading Disease. llf

Children's PIaythings as Means of
Spreading Disease. rs
The London Lancet sounds note of
warning that should be echoed through
every civilized land on the face of
Christendom. 1t relates an instance of
a consumptive who had stand on the
street for selling little toys with
whistles in imitation of birds. These
toys were sold for penny. After
playing until the attention OF some
youngster was attracted the toy he
had been using was bought by the
child, who put into his own mouth the
wet end of the whistle covered with the
saliva of the vendor.
This is but a sample of the ways in
which diseases are spread. Who can
say but that all of these toys are
brought by the seller from homes
where diseases of all sorts run riotl
The petted darling of some household
where health and hygiene are observed
may take into his mouth one of these
pipes that some scarlet-fever or diph-
theritic child has played with the night
before.
Not long since, on metropolitan
thoroughfare, man selling these
bird-whistles allowed half dozen
children to take little toot at them
No one seemed to realize that any one
of these little ones might be coming
down with some contagious disease, or
that the blast of tiny trumpet might
be the call of the minister of death.
1t is quite time that some peremp-
tory measures were taken to restrict
peddling by persons who are simply
hotbeds of contagious germs, and
whose very touch is communicating.
1t is said that life is a choice of evils,
but at least parents can refuse to Sc
lect for their little ones toys that in
the nature of things are laden with
the very evils that they so steadily
seek to avoid.-N Y. Ledger.

In the prohibition state of Kansas all
the drug-stores which have permits to
sell Intoxicating liquors are obliged by
law to fill out certain printed applica-

sketch Of Evangelist Price.

The Rev. David Vance Price belongs
to a we'll known Methodist family of
southwest Virginia. His grandfather
was an old-time Methodist class leader
early in this century, who despite the
turbulence of the times in which he
lived, and the temptations which great
maternal prosperity brought, maintained
the strictest allegiance TO the rigid
Methodist usaRes, and preserved un-
swerving loyalty to the church in the
days when Methodism was still on trial
and the multitude sneered at It.
The father of the evangelist Is the
Rev. Il. N. Price, d. d., professor in
Hartman University, Tennessee, and
for many years editor OF the Holster
Methodist, published ut Knoxville,
Tennessee.
His mother ia a sister Of Gen. Robert
B. Vance, who was for many years rep
resentative in congress from the 9th
district of North Carolina, and Of the
late Senator Zebulun j. Vance, OF ma
ti0nal fame.
Mr.. Price is about forty years of age,
was educated at Emory and Henry
College, Virginia, and was for many
wears u prominent member OF the
HOlston conference, having been pastor
Of such churches as Centenary, In Chat
tanOOga-t the largest and richest church
in the conference, and Main st. Church.
Bristol, Tennessee, which he served with
great ac~ceptability until he gave 1t up
the past fall In order to go into revival
istic work exclusively.
Throughout his ministry he has had
unusual success in revival work, and
very great love for it. He has no sensa-
tional manners, no patent right" meth
DDS, but breaches the Old-fashiOned
gospel In fresh forms and sometimes
with startling applications. He handles
sin without gloves, but Is full OF love for
the sinner and longs to save him. His
language is fcrcible. plain and often
cuts to the quick through the rhinOcerOs
hide of a tough old sinner; but he Is no
coarse purveyor Of slang or mOuntebapk
posing for the cheers of the rabble.
He Is simply IN earnest, faithful,
orthodox, regular Methodist preacher,
who loves souls hates satan, and tries to
do all the good he can wherever he goes.
Mr.. Price is expected to reach this
city on the 10th inst, and the meeting
in the Methodist church will begun oil
the 18th.
While Mr.. Price is here he will be the
guest of the Rev. Mr.. Bishop, who Is an
intimate. Old-time friend and college
mate Of the evangelist.

THE BRIDGE.
VIII it Pay the People to Subscribe
S15O,OOO to Build IL.

To the Editor of the Intelligencer.
Let me make a few suggestions Ia
the people about the bridge.
If $3.50 900 is subscribed will the
bridge be built. We are assured by
those of authority that it will.
II built will it pay the people to sub
scribe that amountp Lot us see.
Lexington has but one road upon
which 1t must depend. The river runs
between Lexington and the three road:
north of the river and is an insupera.
BILE barrier to competition from them.
We are at tho mercy Of one road.
The St. Joseph and Lexington rail
road terminates on the north bank Of
the river. The Santa Fe line runs
from Chicago by the Il. & l.. Junction,
four miles from Lexington. The Wa.
bash runs from St. Louis by X. & l..
Junction to Kansas City.
Build the bridge and both Of these
lines will be in direct communication
over the bridge with Lexington. This
gives competition with Kansas City,
the west and northwest, and with st.
Louis, Chicago and the east and south.
The benefits of this competition are
too great to point them out in this
communication.
What will be the effect of the build
ing of the bridge and this competition
upon Lexington and the surrounding
country.
A large amount Of money would
necessarily be expended here in build
ing the bridge. 1t would increase the
population and also the general bus
mess Of the city. 1t would secure com
petition in freights, lowering the rates
and enabling business men to sell their
goods at lower prices. 1t would also
secure lower rates On produce aad
stock of all kinds shipped away, and
enable dealers to pay better prices. 1t
would increase the rents of property In
Lexington, and per consequence in
crease the value Of the property. The
population aud railroad
facilities would enhance the value Of
lands around the city.
Investment
The cost Of the bridge Is estimated
at $3.50, 900. OF this Ss00, 900 will be
by issuing bonds, hearing five
per cent. interest. This interest would
amount to $4,000 annually. Other
expenses will amount to 1000, max
fng a total annual expense Of S12 1900.
Will the receipts pay this and a per
cont. upon the amount subscribed?
The bridge Is to be q railroad and
wagon bridge. IBIS estimated that the
Income from local crossing will amount
10 $4,000. This is not too high. The
from railroads, it is believed,
will not be less than @20, 900, making
a total income of $50, 900. This would
pay the expenses aud leave s18, 900 70
20 to those who subscribed the money
build it, or twelve per cent. upon
he amount subscribed.
Citizens of Lexington and vicinity
consider the situation and act as you
to be best for your interest.
